Id add a hundo or so for the suicide doors. Just dont like anything thats not easy now. 

Nice, I got Classic Black on a car going on 9 years and It still looks great. 

I would double your price for a larger SUV on that one. 

These cars are put together worst than anything. Did a model Y that had a huge piece of debris under the paint. Never seen that along with a other shit. 
 

Just two piece if and send it away for good!

Roll window up, solved!

I would just leave it. If you have it removed then you might have adhesive left over, which would look worse. I rarely will redo a back window I certain models. 

I hate the looks those...just worthless. I’ll offer to take them off, but they can deal with putting them back on. 

You can apply film over the Visor strip, but you’re gonna see a line where the film for the windshield over laps the visor. Not horrible looking but won’t look as clean. 

The best way is sanding with 1500 grit really well horizontally. Then follow up with steel wool. The lines are so thick you will barely be touching glass. Then just squeegee like any Bg. Just did one now with no peanuts. 

Its gonna take dozens razor blades. Most likely going to gets scratches, especially if the glass is soft. Defrosters lines wont work either. Only other option would be replacing the glass. 

Maybe reduce slip mixture and sand more.

As the tech mentioned does look rather thick to be an olfa. 

Charger/300, Tesla, Old lexes & Audi all get sanded with 1500 grit. I never get any peanuts.

Xpel is just global reboxed. Its funny how customers don’t want once they know. 

I had a custy call a few weeks ago wanting removal on a new car. I asked if she called to see if they would fix it. She said there were light gaps and hair under it and did not want them touching her car. Remember, just because people are complaining it does not mean your work great.

I have noticed that lots of installers in my area will not tint my front windshield because of fear of damage from wet install.  However I really want to do it because of all the heat that it brings in the car and I love it on my raptor.  I have found one installer but they are making me sign a waiver.  Does anyone have any tips I can give them beyond towels on the Dash? 

 

thanks

Another internet myth. They dont know what they’re doing. 

The blue ones will last longer wrapping in hard cards. I only use white for covering rear decks.

Looks like a bit of trash and small crease from two staging the install.  

Top loading takes me longer than removing panels/seals. 

I like the loose gaskets on Audis. 

If you are seeing stuff a month later, you are not removing all the water. Maybe try a bluemax for install. 

Doesnt really matter how you shift pattern. Get a dry erase marker and mark the sides before you lay film in the window. This way you can see how it shifts. Also, works good for install to. 

They made a change to the film a couple years ago. It was to make the liner pull easier, which it does now. Also, scratching is gone and it scratched the same as global did for me. In the end, no matter the film they will all be gone after 7-10 years of heavy exposure. Nothing is much better than the next. I once removed f1 pinnacle at the 10 yr. mark once and it wad bubble and distorted just like the cheap shiat. 

What pile of junk, just like the rest. Plastic mirror cover is a thin as Ford Fiesta trim. If you want to pull the seals on this POS, just flex that thin, cheap panel back without removing a screw! Yep, no screws on this turd of a car. 

Are you using distilled or bottled water?? If not, thats your problem. 

Steel won’t cut it with theses. I use 1500 grit and sand horizontally.
